In Jim Westerfield’s words: “Four years ago my crossbreeding programs produced what seems to be the first true wintergreen mint. Although just about EVERYONE connects the wintergreen flavour and aroma to the mint world, the real wintergreen aroma is actually produced by the Gaultheria genus of plants. What’s exciting is that the aroma of this new mint is exactly that of the wintergreen mint candy. All of the above equals one hell of a tea mint.”
